Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008"Custom Dictionary" not available
I am using Microsoft Word 2008 and I am getting this error message " 'Custom Dictionary' not available" every time I start up Word. Then I realize that I can't add new words or use my custom dictionary at all... the message didn't lie. My custom dictionary is not assigned a language (language set to (none)), my default language in word is set to English (US). My keyboard is QWERTY layout as well. I am running Leopard (version 1.5.2) and have run AutoUpdate both for the system and also within Micrsoft Word, but neither have updates that have solved my problem. Can anyone help? No, not yet. We're still waiting on the update for that. The cause is thought to be a corruption in the Custom Dictionary, perhaps inherited from Office 2004. You can try quitting all Microsoft applications, then finding both custom dictionaries (if you still have an Office 2004 copy) and dragging both to your desktop. Then re-start Word and create a new Custom Dictionary. With luck, the new one will stick. It does here. If not, you will simply have to wait for the patch, which can't be more than a month away now.
